Before a call: the scenario 'ask boss for time off' with three things to try, while the call connects

How the call starts

In murmur, Customer Service picks up. This is the first thing you hear.

them

Hi, thanks for calling. I see you have an account with us. How can I help today?

What to cover

  1. State that you want to cancel
  2. Stay firm if they try to keep you
  3. Confirm the cancellation date
  4. Ask for confirmation by email

Write these down before you dial. Build a script for this call with your own details.

Rehearse it once first

Reading a checklist is the easy part. Saying it to someone who answers back is where calls go wrong. In murmur you make this call out loud, the other side reacts, and afterwards you see which of these goals you hit.
